TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel indole compound having an HLGPa (Human Liver Glycogen Phosphorylase a) inhibitory activity and use thereof as a pharmaceutical agent. More particularly, the present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for diabetes, which comprises an indole compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a hydrate thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Diabetes is a chronic disease caused by abnormal metabolism of sugar, lipid and amino acid due to shortage of insulin action. When maintained without treatment, it shows hyperglycemia and urine sugar. Diabetes is divided into insulin-dependent type and non-insulin-dependent type, and about 90% of diabetic patients suffer from non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

In insulin dependent diabetes, since insulin secretory capacity has disappeared, ketonemia and acidosis easily occur, and when left as is, diabetic coma follows. Food restriction and oral hypoglycemic agent provide no therapeutic effect but only insulin does.

On the other hand, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) shows an insulin action lower than normal, but shows little propensity toward ketonemia and acidosis, and its treatment does not always require insulin.

Hypoglycemic agents currently in use for correcting hyperglycemia include insulin preparations, sulfonylurea agents (e.g., glibenclamide, torbutamide), biguanides (e.g., metformin), insulin sensitizers (e.g., troglitazone) and α-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g., acarbose).

Insulin preparations are pharmaceutical agents used for insulin dependent diabetes, which certainly decrease blood glucose but require administration by injection and are associated with the risk of causing hypoglycemia.

Sulfonylurea agents stimulate beta cell of pancreas and accelerate endogenous insulin secretion. However, the timing and amount of insulin secretion have nothing to do with blood glucose level, and vary depending on the timing and dose of drug administration. As side effects, therefore, hypoglycemia due to the duration of action of pharmaceutical agent often occurs. In addition, symptoms in digestive organs such as anorexia and the like are developed. They are prohibited to patients with severe ketosis or liver or renal dysfunction.

Biguanides are free of stimulation of beta cell of pancreas, their single administration does not cause hypoglycemia in healthy individuals and diabetes patients. Predictable action mechanism includes increase in the use of sugar due to anaerobic glycolysis action, suppression of gluconeogenesis, suppression of absorption of sugar from intestinal tract and the like. As a side effect, they easily develop comparatively severe lactic acidic acidosis.

As insulin sensitizers, thiazolidine derivatives can be mentioned. The thiazolidine derivatives do not have an insulin secretion promoting action, enhance insulin action, and show an insulin receptor kinase activation, peripheral tissue glucose uptake promoting action, improvement of liver glucose production promotion and the like. As side effects, symptoms of digestive organs, edema and the like are developed, and decrease of red count, hematocrit and hemoglobin as well as increase in LDH are known to occur.

While α-glucosidase inhibitors delay digestion and absorption of carbohydrate from the gastrointestinal tract and suppress postprandial elevation of glycemia, they pose problems of side effects such as abdominal distension, borborygmus, diarrhea and the like (JOSLIN'S DIABETES MELLITUS 13Th Edition 521-522).

As mentioned above, the use of these pharmaceutical agents is limited due to the presence of side effects and ineffective patients, and a hypoglycemic agent based on a new action mechanism has been desired.

It has been reported in recent years that NIDDM patients show increased amounts of glucose released from the liver during fasting as compared to healthy individuals. This sugar release from the liver suggests possibility as a treatment target of pharmaceutical agent for NIDDM.

The supply source of sugar in sugar release from the liver is glucose produced by gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. It has been reported that, in diabetic patients, the glycogenolysis is deeply involved in the glucose release from the liver, and glycogenolysis rate increases by 75% during fasted state as compared to healthy individuals. In NIDDM patients, glucose release from the liver transitionally increases after glucose loading, and involvement of glycogenolysis in this increase has been suggested. In type IV glycogenosis (liver glycogen phosphorylase deficiency), moreover, it is known that hypoglycemia is developed during fasted state.

These reports suggest that glycogenolysis plays a major role in glucose release from the liver.

It is known that the glycogen decomposition is catalyzed by HLGPa, and glucose 1-phosphoric acid (G1-P) and glycogen (glucose units in the number of n-1) are produced by the glycogenolysis (glucose units in the number of n) by superphosphoric acid.

Therefore, a therapeutic agent for diabetes having an HLGPa inhibitory action deeply involved in this glycogen decomposition, which is based on a new mechanism has been developed. As the situation stands, however, no agent having satisfactory activity has been found.

Incidentally, as compounds having a similar structure as that of the present invention, the following compounds are known.

For example, JP-A-5-39253 discloses the following compounds useful as harmful animal repellents:

In this publication, no indole compound as in the present application is disclosed and use thereof is also completely different.

Tetrahedron Letter, vol. 23, pp. 2333-2335 (1972) discloses the following indole compound:

However, this reference does not disclose at all that an indole compound as in the present application has an HLGPa inhibitory activity and that the compound is effective as a therapeutic agent for diabetes.

However, this reference does not disclose at all that an indole compound as in the present application has an HLGPa inhibitory activity and that the compound is effective as a therapeutic agent for diabetes.

In addition, WO96/39384 (JP-T-10-511687) discloses, as a compound having an indole structure and a glycogen phosphorylase suppressive activity similar to the action of the present invention, the following formula:

wherein R_(4a) is a phenylalkyl group etc., R_(5a) is a hydrogen atom etc., R_(6a) is an alkoxycarbonyl group etc., R_(2a) is a hydrogen atom, R_(1a), R_(10a) and R_(11a) are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom etc., R_(3a) is a hydrogen atom etc. and A is —N═ etc. As a specific example, the following compound has been disclosed:

However, the compound of our invention is characterized in that it has an indole ring and a hydrazine and that the hydrazine is further bonded to a ring, but this compound does not essentially require a hydrazide structure.

While the development of a therapeutic agent for diabetes, which is based on inhibition of HLGPa is currently ongoing, a therapeutic agent having satisfactory activity has not been found as yet. Accordingly, there is a strong demand for the development of a superior HLGPa inhibitor having a stronger activity and free of side effects as compared to conventional therapeutic agents for diabetes.

Experimental Example (1) Measurement Method of Liver Glycogen Phosphorylase Activity

The measurement of the glycogen phosphorylase activity was performed by measuring the concentration of phosphoric acic produced by a reverse reaction, that is, a reaction wherein the glycogen phosphorylase synthesizes glycogen from G1-P. A cell lysate of Sf9 cells that forcibly expressed recombinant human liver glycogen phosphorylase was diluted to a protein amount of 80 μg/mL with 1 mM imidazole-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.0, containing 0.2 mM PMSF, 250 mM NaCl, 0.025% BSA) and the dilute cell lysate was used as an enzyme solution of human liver glycogen phosphorylase. As a substrate solution, 25 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.2, containing 250 mM KCl, 6.25 mM MgCl₂, 6.25 mM EGTA, 1.25 mM glucose-1-phosphate, 2.5 mg/ml glycogen, 7.5 mM glucose) was used. The test drug was dissolved in 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). To a mixture of the test drug (10 μl) and the substrate solution (20 μl) was added an enzyme solution (20 μl) to start the enzyme reaction. As a control, 0.5% DMSO was added instead of the test drug. One free of addition of enzyme was used as a blank. The mixture was reacted at room temperature for 60 min, and a malachite green solution (50 μl) was added. The mixture was further reacted at room temperature for 20 min and absorbance at 650 nm was measured. An enzyme solution was added to the blank simultaneously with the malachite green solution and the measurement was done in the same manner. The percent inhibition (%) of the test drug was calculated from ((value of control−value of the test drug)/(value of control−value of blank))×100 (%).

Experimental Example (2) Measurement Method of Plasma Glucose Concentration

Using obesity type diabetes model db/db mice, the effect of the compound (1) of the present invention on glucose concentration in plasma was examined. The glucose concentration in the plasma of db/db mice (10-15 weeks of age) was measured, and the mice were grouped into 5 mice per group such that the average glucose concentration of plasma is leveled. After fasting for 4 hr, the test drug or a solvent (0.5% methyl cellulose) was orally administered to db/db mice, and plasma glucose concentration at 1 and 3 hr after the administration was measured. The hypoglycemic effect of the test drug was evaluated by detecting a significant difference every hour between the solvent administration group and the test drug administration group (Dunnett's test).
